New Orleans, Here We Come!

Welcome back, Pepperheads™!

It has been a while since my last post and there has been a great deal happening. We have been working with our graphic designer on the new commercial labels and our tradesmen on a manual labeling machine. We have several thousand jars that need labels for our upcoming shows.

This week, we accepted an invitation to the Louisiana Food Service Expo. In August Paul, Lori, and I will be presenting our gourmet line of products to food service professionals, restaurant owners, and grocers from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. We will be right next to Edy's Ice Cream...what a great location to introduce our new hot pepper chocolate sauce! Mmmmmmmm.

We have also been selected to participate in the National Fiery Foods and Barbecue Show in Albuquerque, NM. As a precursor to the show, we will be competing in the 2009 Scovie Awards. Keep your fingers crossed that the judges are as fond of our products as our Pepperhead™ fan club.

We begin the hectic show season in a few weeks. It starts with the Springboro Hometown Expo on April 5 and runs well into October. The warehouse is stocked to the rafters and we are excited to get back out on the circuit.

We are currently negotiating a few commercial deals. With any luck, we will have some BIG announcements in the next few weeks and months. Crazy Uncle Jester's™ is going national. We are even talking about crossing the northern border...Canadians want to join the Pepperhead™ revolution.

As I hinted earlier, we have a few new products in development. There are a couple more in the back of my mind. Keep watching the website for new additions. Good things are happening.

Until then, thanks for your enthusiasm and support. As always, our products are garden fresh, all natural, trans-fat free, and delicous. We realize that they may be addictive, but we just love it when you stop by for another visit.

Crazy Uncle Jester.
